[TUHS] Your Most Prized UNIX Artifacts?

A complete set of manuals,v1-v10.

The 8-volume History of Engineering and Science in the Bell
System--not really a Unix artifact but an impressive memento of the
Bell Labs experience. Unix rates several pages in it.

A mock license plate, generously given to me by Jon Hall.

A polyomino puzzle that I solved with the help of Gerard Halzmann's
Spin model-checker. The opportunity for such an "abuse of tools"
illuminates Unix and CSRC as a productive meeting place for disparate
disciplines, occupations, and pastimes.
